Qin Liusu was lying on the bed, listening to the cry of the owl outside the window and the sound of wings fluttering, he felt more and more desolate, and he curled up himself regardless of the heat, and scolded himself for being timid in his heart.

At this end, the second elder of the Sun family closed the door, lay on the kang, and whispered.

"Old man, I really think that this kid is really good."

Uncle Sun fanned his fan and nodded, "It's much similar to our daughter, but our daughter still doesn't have that kind of blessing after all, alas." ”

Although many years have passed, as long as Aunt Sun thinks of her tragic child, her heart still can't be calm.

"Forget it, the three-year period should be up, isn't there anything else going on?"

After Uncle Sun said this, Aunt Sun remembered.

"The Taoist priest did say, what should I do? After three years of stable life, is it going to make a comeback? ”

When Aunt Sun thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sad again.

Uncle Sun comforted in a low voice, "Don't cry anymore, if you let the girl hear it, you may be upset!" ”

The two of them then fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the rooster that Qin Liusu bought yesterday was very dedicated and crowed early.

Qin Liusu pushed open the door, fetched a bucket of water from the well, freshened up, poured some water into the pot, added clean rice grains and put it in, and shaved some corn kernels out, and boiled over high heat.

It's firewood, not dead grass, but you don't have to look at it here.

Qin Liusu picked up a bucket of clothes and went to the river with a mallet.

In the distance, I saw a group of women squatting by the river, babbling something.

Qin Liusu chose a place, sat on the rock, and soaked his clothes clean.

The woman on the side looked at Qin Liusu very much, and she had never heard of anyone marrying in the village, and it seemed that no one had come recently, so she was a little puzzled for a while.

"This sister-in-law is very angry, I don't know which family it is?"

The woman closest to Qin Liusu spoke, Qin Liusu glanced up at her, and then smiled heartily.

"I am the goddaughter of the second elder of the Sun family at the head of this village, and I came from my hometown to see the two of them."

"Oh, I see, no wonder it's so raw."

The second elder of the Sun family did not claim that Qin Liusu picked it up on the side of the road, but said that the goddaughter who came from her hometown was also afraid that someone would have some bad intentions, and it would be chaotic these years.

"Why is Aunt Qin here?"

As soon as Qin Liusu looked up, he saw Niu Niu walking next to him with a wooden barrel and sitting down.

"When I passed by your door, I also asked my aunt, my aunt's ears are a little difficult to use, and I can't hear what I say clearly, but fortunately you are here."

"Why do you two still know each other?"

Niu Niu nodded, shook the clothes on her hands, it was a man's clothes, Qin Liusu knew that this was Niu Da.

"Yesterday, I met this sister-in-law who was cutting grass in the back mountain, and she said something."

When a group of women heard this, they jumped up in shock, "Didn't you go to the back mountain at night?" ”

Qin Liusu shook his head, "How dare I, it's just that in the evening, I went to cut some grass with my uncle." ”

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best, if there is nothing in the back mountain, it is still less likely to go on weekdays, it is very dangerous." ”

Qin Liusu had heard about the incident in the back mountain early, and he still had palpitations, but Niu Niu on the side didn't care and pouted.

Qin Liusu washed her clothes early, but because of Niu Niu's pleading, she had to stay and wait for her.

After thinking of the appalling incident in Houshan, Qin Liusu looked at Niu Niu beside him and admired it.

"Niu Niu girl, yesterday you picked some herbs in the back mountain, aren't you afraid?"

Niu Niu pouted, "I didn't believe these rumors,"

Niu Niu beckoned, and Qin Liusu leaned over.

"I've always thought it was artificial."

Qin Liusu exclaimed, Niu Niu made a silent gesture, and Qin Liusu obediently closed her mouth.

The two also have a very tacit understanding, and they are not talking about this topic.

"Aunt Qin, then I'll go back first, and I'll come to you when I'm free."

Qin Liusu stopped Niu Niu, who was about to leave.

"I see that I am not much different from you, and I like you very much, you always call me Aunt Qin, but it seems that she is a lot more angry, why don't we call each other sisters?"

Niu Niu was very happy, "I think so too, I'm afraid you will feel a little abrupt." ”

Qin Liusu shook his head, "How come?" I think you're younger than me, why don't you just be my sister? ”

Niu Niu agreed without a trace of hesitation, and the two talked and laughed again, and then reluctantly said goodbye.

In the prefectural government.

Boss Ling had a sad face at this time.

"Master, are you going or not going?"

The little guy on the side asked softly.

Boss Ling closed his fan and knocked on the shepherd boy's head again.

"Go, why don't you go? I'm going to get along with this group of squires and rich people. ”

After that, he lifted his feet and walked out, and the shepherd boy on the side was a little unhappy, and muttered: "Don't knock on my head again, my lord will not be tall, what if I can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future?" ”

Boss Ling, who was striding forward, naturally didn't hear it.

In a box somewhere in Qingyun Tower, a group of squires and rich people were very interested and chatting.

"Everyone, Yaxing, I wonder if I can join in?"

Boss Ling walked in leisurely, and the box immediately became quiet.

The shepherd boy was a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but speak.

"Why did you invite my lord and look very unhappy at this time?"

Boss Ling smiled and said nothing.

"It turns out that this is the newly appointed county magistrate, but he is really young and has a position!"

Bai Shan immediately stood up, "Come on, come on, please take a seat." ”

Boss Ling sat up unceremoniously, and there was no greeting, which made a group of squires and rich people a little unhappy.

Bai Shan snorted, "Ouch, Master Ling is really extraordinary." ”

Boss Ling shook it hard, and the fan opened.

"Aren't you here to eat? What about meals? ”

Bai Shan nodded, "Isn't this waiting for you to come?" I don't know what you like to eat, don't dare to be foolish! ”

"In this way, it's that I'm misunderstood, so it's okay to come to your famous and expensive ones, and I won't pick them."

Bai Shan picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, beckoning Xiao Er to order the food, only to find that only Boss Ling was the only one who came.

"Why is Master Ling alone? What about the county and the county? ”

"Oh, they didn't call it, we just arrived, and there are still many places we don't know, so I told the two of them to go to the countryside."

Boss Ling looked like he took it for granted, and the shepherd boy couldn't wait to pretend that he couldn't recognize his master, and his face was too thick.

The faces of the people present were not very good-looking, and Boss Ling's approach was clearly not taking them into account, and the meal was tasteless.

Boss Ling looked at the squires and rich people on the table, and couldn't stop sneering in his heart, on the surface, he was still cynical, eating wine and food, and no one moved his chopsticks for a while.

After he was full of wine and food, Boss Ling also went home, burping from time to time.

The shepherd boy almost always went back with his face covered.

"Sir, are you too shameless to do this?"

Along the way, the shepherd boy was still nagging about his master's evil deeds, and Boss Ling was a little impatient when he heard it, and he was about to fight, and the shepherd boy leaned back, a little scared.

Boss Ling withdrew his fan and yawned.

"Go back and copy the female ring a hundred times."

The shepherd boy has a word of suffering.

"Master, I'm a gentleman, why do you want to copy the female ring?"

"Because you're nagging like a."

The shepherd boy couldn't laugh or cry, but he had no choice but to follow him.

Let's talk about the county magistrate and the county lieutenant here who were dragged up from the quilt early and sent to the countryside belonging to Baicheng.

Along the way, looking at the dry fields around them, the two were full of emotion.

"Nowadays, farmers are also good, Brother Zhang, don't you say?"

County Lieutenant Zhang nodded, "Although I am a native of this country and know the suffering of the people, it is not my turn to intervene. ”

The attached county man patted the arm of the county lieutenant Zhang and said seriously: "Then, you will be busy enough in the future." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued on their horses.

It was also noon when the two arrived at Gufeng Village, and smoke rose from every house.

"Brother Zhang, it seems that we are likely to be hungry today."

"I don't think so."

Saying the direction of Zhang County's finger, the attached county Cheng found Qin Liusu who was cooking, and the two dismounted and led the horse to approach carefully.

I walked to the door and shouted a few times through the fence.

"This sister-in-law, we are passing by, and we want to beg for food, I don't know if we can do it?"

Qin Liusu heard someone shouting outside the door, and seeing that they were well-dressed and very polite, he went to open the door.

"Come in."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, our brothers won't eat you for nothing, we will pay for the meal."

The two tied their horses to the tree, and the donkey wailed, as if upset at them, and rejected them.

Uncle Sun heard the movement outside, went out to look, and then found that it was County Lieutenant Zhang, and greeted him warmly.

"It turned out to be County Lieutenant Zhang, come on, come and sit."

entered the house again and greeted Aunt Sun, who heard it and hurriedly came out.

"It's really a benefactor."

Aunt Sun's excitement was beyond words.

Qin Liusu stood aside a little puzzled.

"Girl, come here."

Hearing Uncle Sun calling himself, he put down the firewood in his hand and walked over.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is the great benefactor of our family, if it weren't for this person, I'm afraid that our two old men would have been out of this world a long time ago......"

Qin Liusu looked at the bearded man in front of him in a daze, his face was full of cheeks, Qin Liusu felt that this person did not pay attention to his personal image.

Qin Liusu made a move

"Thank you, knight, for saving my godparents."

Only then did County Lieutenant Zhang know that the thin yellow woman in front of him was the goddaughter of the second elder of the Sun family.

The attached county, who had been neglected for a long time, was a little unhappy, and coughed a few times to declare his existence.

Only then did the second elder of the Sun family notice that there was another person, and then asked, "Who is this literati?" ”

County Lieutenant Zhang introduced: "This is the newly appointed county magistrate. ”

The second elder of the Sun family suddenly realized that it was the newly appointed county magistrate, and he quickly got out of the way.

Fu Xiancheng straightened his waist and sat down.

The second elder of the Sun family was busy with his work, but Qin Liusu had nothing to do, so he wiped the table and listened to them gossip.

Qin Liusu learned that Bai Qiangsheng had brought someone to rob Sun Ting before the accident, but unfortunately he was rescued by County Lieutenant Zhang and failed to succeed, and because of this, County Lieutenant Zhang was also dismissed. The second elder of the Sun family was also seriously injured.

said that Sun Ting's ending was tragic, and the second elder of the Sun family was still very grateful.

The three of them brought the prepared meal.

"It's also some coarse tea and light rice, I don't know if the two officials are used to eating or not."

The two of them ate very well, and they didn't look disgusted at all.

"This sister-in-law's skills are really good, but what is this, I have never seen ......"

County Lieutenant Zhang pointed to a plate of dishes in front of him with some doubts.

"This is from my hometown, it is said to be a fish sashimi, and this fish was also caught by the uncle last night, I think that if this is the case, it will be nutritious and delicious."

"Although it is raw, it is very delicious, and it would be a pity if my sister-in-law did not become a chef."

Qin Liusu was a little embarrassed and returned to the room.
